THE CHINA MAIL,
Asst. Commissioner's Report The report of the Assistant Colony Commissioner on the Prince of Wales Banner Competition for 1920 is 'as follows:
The Competition this year was held on February 6 for the Hong Kong Companies, and February 8 for the Kowloon Companies. The subjects set included.
Inspection of Companies. Inspection of Company Books. Drills.
Test on Ambulance, Cooking, and General Knowledge.
Original Games.
Dr. Minett tested for the Am- bulance and Miss Clarke took the firelighting and cooking. The rest of the Competition was taken by the Commissioner. Assistant Colony

It is an in-the marks in most cases. English Captains of Chinese Companies are of course handicapped because of the language but they must not be disheartened at not being first.

I am sure will be the Captain's sister-in-law, Lady Clementi will regret that she I leave you to work out this rather could not be here to-day as much complicated sentence! as we regret her absence.
The Prince of Wales' Banner was first competed for in 1924 and it has been held by the following com panties:
1st Kowloon 1924. 2nd Kowloon 1925. 2nd Kowloon 1926. lat Kowloon 1927. 3rd Hong Kong 1928. 2nd Kowloon 1920.
so during these six years it has been held three times by 2nd Kow- loon, in fact Kowloon has only lost it once which was to the 3rd Hong Kong last year. I recommend Hong Kong to look to its laurels and make a strenuous effort to carry the ban- ner across the Harbour next year.
Kowloon Successes.. These signal successes
of 2nd Kowloon would not have been possible were it not for. the untiring support and en-

Sawyer and her Staff. Miss Sawyer has assisted in every possible way, and we thank her most heartily.
Miss Kotewall, acting head- mis- tress of St. Paul's, very kindly lent the school for the examination of the Hong Kong Companies, and Miss Sawyer lent the Diocesan School grounds for the Competitions in Kowloon.
And now let me give the Banner into your eafe keeping for this year. The motto the Prince of Wales Companies was excellent and very The general "turn out" of all: adopted long centuries ago on the few marks were lost over the In- field of battle is "Ich Dienspection and drills. Some Companies serve." The aim of the Guides should be to carry into every-day seriously perhaps and forgot that took the Competition rather too life the spirit off service-service in the home-service in the outside world. We are proud of you 2nd Kowloon for we know you receive the Banner gladly as a sign that you have done your best-but humbly conscious that you have much to learn. My good wishes to you, 2nd Kowloon-my thanks for your good work in the past-my! hopes for good fortune in the
Future.
Creditable Averages However, greatly though I ap- plaud the success of 2nd Kowloon I do not think the other Companies should be discouraged. The aver ages were very creditable indeed and it should be an encouragement to the unsuccessful companies that the successful company this year was low down on last year's list. It

The Brownies
Before I come to the actual pre- sentation of the Banner there are ane or two things I wish to mention. I see in the hall a number of Brownies some of whom seem to me to be nearing an 'out size' in the Brownie world. I hope they are also prepared to be Guides and to carry on the tradition of 2nd Kow- loon. There is a tendency for Brownies to love their Pack so much that they feel they would like to be once a Brownie always a Brownle. But it is not the true Guide spirit: Pana. Brownies cannot be Peter
They must grow up in order to feed the Guide Companies which in turn feed the Ranger Companies. Only in this way can we keep the Movement vigorous and ever grow-
ing.
Lady Stuart Taylor Honoured
I have some good news to give you not directly connected with the Brownles-I have just received from home the following letter from-Miss Montgomery, General Secretary of the Girl Guide Association:
"Dear Mrs. Southern,
I am glad to tell you that the Executive Committee decided on Tuesday to award the Medal of Merit to Lady Stuart Taylor, The Award will have to be made hero In this country, but she will be
told that this has been given at
the request of the Hong Kong
'Guide Association.

I hope all la going well with you. My New Year Wishes are somewhat belated, but I hope you will accept them. Yours very sincerely,

(Sd.) Muriel Montgomery,
General Secretary." Delightful Coincidence Ve To-day is a great day in the (whole Guide world. We could not have chosen a more suitable one for the presentation of the Banner. It is the Joint Birthday of the Chief Scout and the Chief Guide and we together with the Scouts have sent them a telegram of good wished: It is a very delightful coincidence that these two wonderful people should calebrata their birthday on the band dielewe hope with all our hearts that they tiny, both rule ove the Boout and Guide dostiiries:
Three hearty cheers for Mrs. Southern concluded the proceedings.
Guilding is a game and not hard training! The Captains and Lieut- enants showed A most sporting spirit throughout and are to be con- gratulated on the excellent result of the hard work and time they have expended on their Companies since last year's Competition.

All that has been done for the sailors and soldiers has been only possible at the Naval and Military YM.C.A. through the valued assistance of the ladies. This week's "Overland China Mail the only illustrated weekly summary of "local" and "China" news
throws considerable light on how the ladies have done their bit since the Shanghai Defence Force first landed in the Colony.
The Criminal Sessions have witnessed the trial of Pte. Boyle, of the K.O.S.B. who pleaded guilty to wounding a ser geant on the voyage to Colomo. Sentence was deferred.
There has been a chapter of mishaps to shipping, including an attack by bandits, on the Yangtze and the West River, details of which cannot but interest the folk at Home.
Several Company meetings are reported, disclosing the better commercial position of the Colony during the past twelve months, with prospects of better things, to come good news for those

A double invasion of the Colony has been made by world tourists, whilst the end has arrived of a perfect sporting visit from the Shanghai interport footballers.
